As a traditional culture of world, Chinese silk paintings  have been more and more valuable.
Its precious workmanship and vivid performance make it to be the treasure of
the collector.

Today painting on silk  is an extremely popular art form
but it is almost as old as the discovery of silk itself. With modern dyes and
paints the design possibilities are limitless. Using a medium-weight habutai
silk, Pébéo Setasilk iron-fixed silk paints, clear water solvent gutta
and in some paintings batik wax as the resist, people have successfully
developed a technique that hides the resist lines. The finished pictures are
carefully stretched and mounted on acid-free board and then framed for
exhibition.

So precious and
well-done work, not only can
Chinese silk paintings  is collected as the treasure but
also can show your distingue taste.
